Last weeks story about a retired Texas school teacher who
came under Homeland Securitys microscope for paying off
a $6,522 credit card debt has been trumped by a similar case involving an amount
of just $650.

Previously, Walter Soehnge made
national headlines when he attempted to pay off debt on his
MasterCard. The payment was rejected and automatically triggered an
investigation by Homeland Security.

Now we have the story of Edie Booth, a community college
professor in East Texas.

Trying to pay off her February credit card bill, Booth
found her funds short and so asked to borrow $650 from her sister to avoid an
interest overcharge of $140.

Booth made a $3,500 payment from her own account and then
sent the other $650 with permission from her sisters electronic account.

I watched the status of these two payments on line, since I
am not the 'trusting' type, when it comes either to banks, credit card
companies, OR government, says Booth.

The $650 was pending one day and then showed funded the
next. All seemed fine. However, I continued to check the status on-line for the
next 5 days.

On the 6th day I found the extra $650 payment
CANCELLED.

Upon calling the credit card company, Booth was told that
Homeland Security would not allow her to make two payments from two different
sources in the same day.

Booth was then slapped with the $140 overcharge for causing
the hard working boys at Homeland so much inconvenience.

This is a monumental waste of time and if there were any
real terrorists out there Homeland Security is more interested in your spending
habits than Al-Qaeda.

As Edie Booth points out, this is such insanity, I mean,
if you are paying your credit card, you have already obtained the explosives or
whatever some time before."

Where is the leadership? When will we get some relief from
these morons?

The very individuals that used 9/11 to force layer upon
layer of increased state surveillance and big government bureaucracy upon us are
the ones in business
with Osama Bin Laden and Al-Qaeda. And yet it is law-abiding
citizens that get hassled for the simple desire to pay off some debt.

It seems painfully obvious that the people
trying to take away our freedoms are not wearing turbans and shouting Allah
Akbar, but that the enemy is within the gates.
